The Making OF Mirrors.

There are three kinds of mirrors known
to commercials French plate, the Ger
man plate and the common American
glass, usually called shocks" The lat
ter can be told BY their tendency TO plant
the nose well around toward the ear, or
O more or less successful effort TO get both
eyes in the same place. The German
plate is imported in regular sizes, already
silvered. 1t is a very thin but generally
perfect glass, and ONE about one-!llth
cheaper than the French plate, which is
used altogether for first class mirrors.
The difference a be told by pressing the
finger on the face Of the glass, by which
the thickness a readily be perceived.
There are three factories in the United
States manufacturing plate glass, but
none of them has yet succeeded in secur-
ing the necessary whiteness and freedom
from bubbles. I~mperfcctions that are
not noticeable in clear plate become very
prominent when silvered. ''SilverlnS
quality glass. as il is known, is carefully
selected by the French manufacturers and
sold for that purpose, commanding a
higher price than the balance OF the pro-
duct.
T ere are two different processes OF sill
vering, mercury being used for n and
nitrate of silver for the other. The latter
are known as patent backs" although
not patented, and are generally replacing
mercury on account of the greatly de-
creased risk in handling. In the former
process a sheet of tinfoil, somewhat larger
than the mirror wanted, is placed upon a
level table, the bed Of which is of glass or
marble, and which must be absolutely
clean and free from even the slightest
scratch. Strips of glass are then placed on
the edgeso % the foil 10 prevent the mer-
curry from running OIL. As much mercury
as the incloSure will hold is then poured
over the foil. after which the plate is
floatcd on and entirely covered with heavy
iron weights. The table is then tilted and
the surplus mercury drains off, after
which they are stood on edge TO dry,
which requires from N to two weeks.
In making IA patent back" the glass is
laid on a table, underneath which is a
steam coil. The nitrate of silver in solr-
ton is then poured on, a gentle heat APP
piled and the silver precipitated. The
back is then painted and the mirror is
complete. Either process requires a great
amount Of skill AMI care. Absolute cleanli-
ness is imperatiyely necessary in every
part Of the work. Distilled water is used
in cleaning the plate preparatory 10 silver

The Depth Of Initiative Perfdy.

tlueerer still than the caterpillars
winch pretend to be leaves or flowers for
the sake Of protection are those truly d.
abolical and ~perfidious Brazilian spiders
which, as Mr.. Bates observed, are bril-
liantly colored with crimson and purple,
but '.double themselves up at the base
of leaf stalks, SO Is to resemble flower
buds, and thus deceive the insects upon
which they prey" There is something
hideously wicked and cruel in this lowest
depth of initiative infamy. A flower
bud is something so innocent and child
like; and to disguise oneself as such for
purposes of murder and rapine argues
the final abyss of arachnoid perfidy. 1t
reminds one of that charming and ami
able young lady in Mr.. Robert Louis
Stevenson's ''Dynamiter," who amused
herself in moments Of temporary gayety
by blowing up inhabited houses, inmate,
and all. out of pure lightness of heart
and girlish friyolity. An Indian mantis
or praying insect, a little less wicked,
though no less cruel than the spiders,
deceiyes the flies who come to his arms
under the false pretense Of being a quiet
leaf, upon which they may light in safety
for rest and refreshment. Yet another
abandoned member Of the anne family,
relying boldly upon the of trop-
ical nature, gets itself up as a complete
orchid. the head and fangs being nodded
in the exact image of the beautiful bios
som, and the arms folding trc~acherously
around the unhappy insect which ven

what 10 the Normal Pulsef

It is strange how very few people know
what their normal pulse is. They know
that the average culse is about seventy,
and imagine that they are well or other
wise as their pulse approaches or departs
from this standard. 1t is true that an
average Of all pulses would give a result
Of about seventy beats, but in no other
physical popularity is there such wide
individual variation. | had two students
in my Office at the same time, both very
strong and remarkably healthy young
men. The normal pulse OF one was forty
seven and the other ninety-three. This
difference is unusual, few pulses falling
below sixty or rising above eighty in a
healthy subject, but IN unusually slow or
rapid pulse is no indication whatever OF
disease, as is popularity supposed to be the
case. Most people overestimate their
pulse, as they often count its beats when
talking about the matter, and it is a fact
well known TO physicians that the excite
ment of conversation will quicken the
pulse from five to twenty beats. The
best time to arrive at the true normal is
shortly after waking in the morning,
when the nerves are unexcited. Globe
